Default Mount & Balance

I have a friend of mine that has a 2001 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport and he needs his front and rear tires mounted and balanced. Everyone is quoting him like $60.00 a Tire and he knows there has to be someone out there that can do it for cheaper. Anyone know??

Thanks,
Derek

Wow that expensive. I do my own tire installs but I do not balance. I rarly ever have a shake and if I do I static balance which takes care of about 90% of any problems. I would offer it up cheap but for a moto I would be afraid of slightly scratching with spoons and upseting someone.

Is 60 dollars to bring the bike in and have it done or is that just the wheels. Its usualy cheaper if you take the wheels off as its less labor.

Maybe try taking the wheels (already off the bike) to Cycle Gear and see.
